Dialog from "Louie"

Dr. Bigelow: So you took a chance on being happy, even though you knew that later on you would be sad.

Louie: Yeah.

B: And now youre sad.

L: Yeah.

B: So whats the problem?

L: Im too sad . Look, I liked the feeling of being in love with her. I liked it. But now shes gone and I miss her and it sucks. And I didnt think it was going to be this bad, and I feel like, why even be happy if its just going to lead to this, you know? It wasnt worth it.

B: You know, misery is wasted on the miserable.

L: What?

B: You know, Im not entirely sure what your name is, but you are a classic idiot. You think spending time with her, kissing her, having fun with her, you think thats what it was all about? That was love?

L: Yeah.

B: THIS is love. Missing her, because shes gone. Wanting to die . Youre so lucky. Youre like a walking poem. Would you rather be some kind of a fantasy? Some kind of a Disney ride? Is that what you want? Dont you see? This is the good part. This is what youve been digging for all this time. Now you finally have it in your hand, this sweet nugget of love, sweet, sad love, and you want to throw it away. Youve got it all wrong.

L: I thought this was the bad part.

B: No! The bad part is when you forget her, when you dont care about her, when you dont care about anything. The bad part is coming, so enjoy the heartbreak while you can, for Gods sakes. Pick up the dog poop, would you please? Lucky sonofabitch. I havent had my heart broken since Marilyn walked out on me, since I was 35 years old. What I would give to have that feeling again . You know, Im not really sure what your name is, but you may be the single most boring person I have ever met. No offense. Give me my dog. Come here. You . Dont fall down.
